TI  - [Contingencies of self-worth in Japanese culture: validation of the Japanese 
      contingencies of self-worth scale].
PG  - 250-6
AB  - The author developed a Japanese version of the Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale 
      (CSWS) that was originally developed in the United States (Crocker, Luhtanen, 
      Cooper, & Bouvrette, 2003). The Japanese version of the scale measures seven 
      contingencies of self-esteem: Defeating others in competition, appearance, 
      relationship harmony, other's approval, academic competence, virtue, and support 
      of family and friends. Scores on the scale had systematic relationships with 
      related variables, and the scale therefore exhibited satisfactory levels of 
      construct validity: Relationship harmony, other's approval, and support of family 
      and friends were positively correlated with sympathy and interdependence, whereas 
      competitiveness was negatively correlated with sympathy. Moreover, 
      competitiveness and academic achievement contingencies predicted competitive 
      motivation, whereas the support of family and friends contingency predicted 
      self-sufficient motivation. The scale has adequate test-retest reliability and a 
      seven-factor structural model was confirmed. The implications for self-esteem and 
      interpersonal relationships in Japanese culture are discussed.
